GARDINER, Maine — Dog handlers led a manhunt through a wooded area near Harrison Avenue to a local man charged Thursday night with robbing a nearby Rite-Aid pharmacy earlier in the day. No injuries were reported, police said.

Jesse N. Mansir, 31, of Gardiner, was charged with Class B robbery after surrendering to police at about 7:10 p.m. He was being held at Kennebec County jail on $50,060 bail late Thursday, a jail spokeswoman said.
